Utilizing 3D-printed elements, Kuleshov made an outer shell to lift and barely tilt a Magic Mouse. He additionally modified the mouse’s internals, utilizing a riser to carry the higher dome of the Magic Mouse to the highest of the shell. Different modifications have been made to protect the mouse button performance.
